£300million Wasted By Whitehall's Slipshod Ways

Reading the article under the above headline in today's Daily Telegraph I was struck by part of a quotation from Edward Leigh, Chairman of the Commons public accounts committee.

"........they do not have people with the right experience and skills managing ..........nor do they have oversight of how good the services being provided are, which results in a great deal of waste. It beggars belief............"

It was about civil servants the remark was made - could just as easily have been about the government!
